Use IP Passthrough and Use BGW320 as an AP

Hi, I'm planning to use IP passthrough to an OPNSense router with multiple 2.5 G ports, but the BGW320 is good enough for my wireless devices. If I leave the gateway's WiFi radios on, setup IP passthrough, and turn the firewall off, will the traffic from the wireless devices use my router?

No, clients that connect directly to the BGW320 will still be assigned an IP from the Gateway and it will still perform NAT for them; IP Passthrough doesn't change this at all.  Such clients would not be able to access resources behind your router.
